florida is too touristy / has too many attractions to be a southern town. too many transplants / too much fresh blood. the south is about old blood. about how many generations you can go back. it's about yacht clubs and private christian schools, and family names.
the most touristy acceptable southern landmarks are the coca-cola factory, the new georgia aquarium, and the atl strip clubs. those and forts/civil war sites, historic districts, myrtle beach, etc.
